I'm not good at English. I'm sorry but You may be hard to read my sentence.

This mod improves and balances the power and attributes of skyrim's artifacts and unique items lore friendly.There are some mods similar to it in Nexus, but some of them make the artifacts too strong, and many of them are imcompatible with many other mods that I like. For example, 'Open Dragon Priest Masks' , 'ACE - Combat Skills', 'Insanitys Pale Blade', 'Way Of The Sword'.So I made this mod making much of compatibility.This mod regulates 70% or more of Unique items, But is compatible with their mod.

I wanted to strengthen Unique items, but I didn't want to strengthen them by simply increasing weapon damage or armor rating, because they are not Strong Items but also Unique Items.

So I added some new enchantment, and added them to some Unique items lore friendly.For example, Chillrend: Added the enchantment 'Weakness to Frost'It is the enchantment of chillrend in TES4 Oblivion.Mehrunes' Razor: Added the enchantment 'Weaken Armor'I was inspired by the enchantment of Mehrunes' Razor 'Disintegrate Armor' in TES3 Morrowind

And you can choose what type of items you want to change.(for example Weapon and/or Armor and/or White phial)ESP for Vanilla is divided into 3 : Weapon, Armor, White phialESP for Dawnguard is divided into 3 : Armor, Weapon, Weapon(for ACE Combat Skills)ESP for Dragonborn is divided into 2 : Armor and Weapon

Unofficial Skyrim Patch orLost Art of the Blacksmith-I didn't add missing weapon and armor improvement recipe (Except DLC's Unique items), for example Wuuthrad, The Shield of Ysgramor. If you use one of these mods, you can imporve them. I regulated unique items assuming your using one of their mods.

==Features==Generally, the cost of unique weapon's enchantment is lower than vanilla(1/2?1/10) except what I didn't touch.All unique armor set and all unique clothing set have unique set bonus.A few weapons have "hidden" enchantment.(You see the enchantment in read_me. )
